Bang Bang or My Baby Shot Me Down

Love hurts. Simple really.

Bang bang

 

It only takes a second to realise

 

Bang bang

 

Only a moment to understand

 

Bang bang

 

That this is what you had to sacrifice

 

Bang bang

 

The guilt of holding the gun in your hand

 

Bang bang

 

My flickering light begins to fade

 

Bang bang

 

And the last thought that runs through my head

 

Bang bang

 

Is what a mess of me you have made

 

Bang bang

 

Before my foolish blood paints the street red

Brilliant. love this. No messing about, just the brutal truth. Excellent write.

[Honey]

I clicked on this because I love the song and wanted to see how that had inspired you. I really like the way you connect the two seconds of the gun going off with two seconds of someone's thoughts. It was really effective to separate the lines with "bang bang". Very well written...good job!
